Lead ArchitectAbdallah Alayan
Exploring the abilities of architecture in generating poetry and heightening spirituality within the landscape, this series of architectural interventions aims to speculate on the future of spiritual architecture in the context of growing non-religious demographics. The interventions speak to the journey to Milford Sound in New Zealand’s Fiordland. By extracting and abstracting common practices from a variety of faiths, the inclusivity of all four interventions articulates a sense of unity between the religious and non-religious through a shared connection to the spiritual weight of nature.
